Jags sign former Dolphins LB Martrell Spaight, release CB Dee Delaney

In addition to the Jacksonville Jaguars bringing back offensive guard Patrick Omameh Tuesday, the team also announced the signing of former Miami Dolphins linebacker Martrell Spaight. To make room for him and Omameh, the Jags released rookie corner Dee Delaney and place center Brandon Linder on injured reserve.

Spaight, 25, has been in the league for four seasons and most of his career was spent with the Washington Redskins. He was selected by them out of the University of Arkansas in the fifth-round of 2015’s draft and spent three seasons with them. They released him in September of this year and the Dolphins then briefly signed him. He’ll come to Jacksonville with 105 career tackles, three pass deflections and an interception to his name.

As for Delaney, he joined the Jags this season after going undrafted in April’s draft and previously played collegiate football for the Miami Hurricanes. He was signed to the practice squad most of the season, but was activated in October prior to the Jags’ international game in London. Being that the Jags were high on him throughout training camp, it’s possible they may look to re-sign him to their practice squad in the near future.
